Round Tungsten Beads

Firehole Stones round tungsten beads are the standard for bead-head nymph and wet fly tying. Built for standard nymph hooks and traditional bead-head patterns, our round tungsten beads deliver the consistent sizing, accurate weights, and clean bores that serious fly tyers demand — so your flies fish at the right depth, every time.

Consistency is everything when it comes to tungsten beads for fly tying. Firehole Stones round tungsten beads are manufactured to tight tolerances: a 3.0 mm bead is a 3.0 mm bead, with the weight to match. No more guessing at sink rates or compensating for inconsistent bead sizes mid-session. Available in plain and speckled finishes, sized 2.0 mm to 4.5 mm, covering the full range from tiny midge bead-heads to large stonefly and attractor nymphs.

Pair with Firehole Sticks nymph hooks for a perfectly matched bead-head nymph system — our round beads are sized to complement our nymph hook wire gauges exactly. Whether you're tying classic Hare's Ear and Pheasant Tail bead-heads, modern competition nymphs, or soft hackle wet flies, Firehole Stones round tungsten beads give you the quality and consistency to tie with confidence. Available in gold, silver, black, copper, and speckled finishes.
